In a recent social media exchange that caught the eye of the cryptocurrency community, Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, offered a sarcastic <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1746970184198611094" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">response</a> to a boastful social media post by Dfinity.&nbsp;
Dfinity spotlighted a significant upgrade in their Internet Computer (ICP) protocol, claiming that their canister smart contracts can now hold a vast 400GiB in stable memory.&nbsp;
This upgrade, they noted, is capable of storing around 17.4 million Ethereum smart contracts, or the entire Cardano blockchain -- twice.&nbsp;
Hoskinson humorously replied, "Thanks for storing Cardano. You can always use that canister to rebuild ICP if you ever need to."&nbsp;
<h2 id="inside-the-tech-internet-computer-s-canisters">Inside the tech: Internet Computer's canisters</h2>
The Internet Computer, Dfinity's ambitious blockchain project, aims to revolutionize how decentralized applications (dapps) are run.&nbsp;
Its latest advancement involves "canisters," which are essentially high-capacity smart contracts. These canisters allow developers to deploy dapps written in various languages as WebAssembly modules.&nbsp;
Unlike traditional containers in software, these canisters don’t just execute code; they also store the application's state, significantly enhancing the efficiency and scalability of the blockchain applications they host.

In April 2022, Dfinity welcomed a familiar face from the Cardano camp, Eva Oberholzer, as their new chief growth officer. It was a strategic move aimed at pushing Internet Computer into the mainstream. Hoskinson's congratulatory message back then was seemingly a sign of the respect that these blockchain projects have for each other.&nbsp;
In 2021, Hoskinson welcomed Dfinity to "major leagues" in a social media post.&nbsp;
<blockquote>
 Looks like we have another third gen entering the arena. Lots of stuff to read this weekend. Welcome to major leagues Dfinity. <a href="https://t.co/ERQVcHdcdy" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pic.twitter.com/ERQVcHdcdy</a>— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1391976568419799041?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">May 11, 2021</a>
</blockquote>
Fast forward to early 2024, the Internet Computer project is <a href="https://u.today/shiba-inu-shib-is-about-to-be-topped-by-this-coin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">gaining ground</a>, with the ICP token now outpacing Shiba Inu in market performance.
